sighting: black sti

saw a black sti this evening, in berkeley.
I was driving up Durant, in a white wrx, saw it in my rear view mirror, and I pulled aside to watch it pass. Driver was wearing a yellow cap, ( i think)
Nice car, whoever owns it.

Interesting.....

Well, now that you've described it, I'm pretty sure it was a real STi you saw, unless someone was dumb enough to go through all that trouble in the past month to make it "look" like one. I didn't know some people got 'em already.

the revolution is taking place... take your positions... an automotive war is ahead of us.

DO NOT fear, for we have weapon to dominate; the STi as it is called...

Lotsa riceboys fill every import (and even domestic) nitch. It wouldn't surprise me to find a '04 WRX doctored to look like a STi. Remember, to make a car look like a fast car you don't have to know much about anything, you just gotta have $$$

It could be the real thing... but I'd think we'd know about it already.

It's got to be hard keeping up with all the threads. That STi was at Albany subaru in Berkeley for less than a day (thursday) when it got bought. I went in and it was $35.9K but apparently sold for $37+K. Ouch.

That premium's gotta hurt.

Although the markup does suck, it's not nearly as bad as what Mitsubishi did to their customers. "we created a religion"... psh, yeah right.

first of all, dizzleface how drunk were you when you wrote that?

second, the STis are about a million times better than the WRX in every respect. DCCD? active ABS? two point five liters? twin scroll turbo? three LSDs? brembos? 17s? RE040s? 40mm struts? need i go on?

The USDM STi isn't Twin Scroll design.
